   3 outlets · first: bunburymail.com.au Regulation

   Machine summary Labor narrowed the R&D tax credit to exclude supporting activities and cap refundable offsets at 10 years.

   1. The $10 million cap on gains eligible for the 50% capital gains tax discount was removed, allowing unlimited gains to qualify.
   2. The minimum investment holding period was reduced from five years to three years.
   3. Companies up to 15 years old can now be considered startups, up from 10 years, but the $50 million turnover cap remains unchanged.
   4. R&D tax credit eligibility was narrowed: activities that only support R&D no longer count, and refundable offsets are limited to companies 10 years old or younger.
   5. The government did not define what counts as an "innovative enterprise," creating uncertainty for investors and certain tech segments.

   AdAI launches AI agents to remake digital ads using brand assets, specs, and constraints

   2 outlets · first: finanznachrichten.de Product launch Mostly press releases

   Machine summary AdAI has launched AI agents that remake existing digital ads using brand assets, specs, and constraints rather than generating from open-ended prompts. Its stated differentiator is 'designing constraints' — enforcing brand and legal compliance — while agentic workflows pull Meta and Google performance data to guide new ads. A six-figure telehealth account is claimed to be using it in production.

   1. AdAI announced on September 11, 2026 a platform that uses AI agents to remake digital ads in seconds from a company's existing brand assets, specifications, and customizations.
   2. The startup is New York-based and incubated by Revolution Venture Studios; its founding customer is described as a 'six-figure telehealth account' already in production (company claim).
   3. AdAI says it is developing agentic workflows that pull performance data from Meta and Google, using historical performance and competitive benchmarks to inform new ad development.
   4. Kevin Bartley, who is co-founder and CEO, said that even though most AI creative tools are aimed at extravagance, his company is designing constraints, which makes AI a reality for advertising teams.
